With wins over North Decatur and Knightstown, Waldron improved to 12-0 this season – the best start in program history – and is the only unbeaten team left in Class A.

There are six undefeated girls basketball programs left in the state of Indiana.

Previously unbeaten Vincennes Rivet suffered its first loss Dec. 18 at Gibson Southern and dropped from No. 2 to No. 4 in this week’s Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association poll.

Lanesville (13-1), ranked No. 1 earlier this season, rises to No. 2 behind Waldron with Lafayette Central Catholic (9-2) moving up to No. 3 this week ahead of Vincennes Rivet (9-1).
